Abstract

This research aims to analyze woman inclusion in the Brazilian classical music composition field in the second half of the twentieth century, through the case investigation. Five composers were chosen: Maria Helena Rosas Fernandes (1933), Joey de Oliveira (1936), Marisa Rezende (1944), Vânia Dantas Leite (1945) and Denise Garcia (1955). From the oral history methodology, based primary in data collection, interviews and analysis of primary documentation, together with the content history research methodology, based in bibliographic research, the biographies of each composers were elaborated, focusing the musical composition in their lives. We worked with some specific concepts for the realization of the analysis and the field re-construction, such as Field and Male Domination developed by Pierre Bourdieu and Generation by Karl Mannhein. We try to understand the way this women became composers inside a reality characterized by an almost female absence in this field, spite the incalculable woman conquests through the twentieth century, in Brazil and the World (AU)
